Allies condemn ‘in the strongest terms’ Pyongyang’s latest weapons test, and urge end to ‘destabilization’.

Japan, South Korea and the United States have agreed to enhance security cooperation in response to rising threats from North Korea, as they condemned the country’s test of its first-ever solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
